As Robin posted recently, Pete Mannion became WVR's first "100 Club" member, doing his 100th Parkrun at the end of March. Pete is now up to 110, and clearly practice is making perfect, as he did his fastest ever time in his 106th race - and then bettered it again in his 109th on 1st June.
Pete's PB time on 1st June was 18.21 at Bushy Park, which that morning would have been good enough to place him 2nd on our "all-time fastest" Parkrun leader board, squeaking in 2 seconds ahead of Jon Payne's 18.23...... except that the same morning, over at Frimley Lodge, Jon himself also ran a new PB, of 18.13, to stay second!
Meantime, our all-time leader, Ali McGeogh-Williams, was also setting a new PB, with an awesome 17.35 to finish 3rd at Frimley Lodge, while Ali's dad Nigel joined in the fun with his second ever Parkrun, coming in with a new PB of 25.53, a two minute improvement.
Not to be outdone, two of our ladies also set new PB's at Frimley Lodge on 1st June - Anna Holland took two and a half minutes off her best time with 27.17, and Lisa Norman took almost two minutes off hers with 27.34. Great stuff!
One week later, the PB's continued to flow as Simon Cutmore ran a 25.21 at Frimley, and Ben Feltham posted a fine 23.06 at Guildford.
Update on the 15th - The times continue to tumble. Ali and Nigel both lowered their PB's again, to 17.16 and 25.39. Ali is now 25th on the Frimley Lodge all-time fastest list. We will find out what they are eating for their Saturday morning breakfasts and report back!
Sadly, the Parkrun photographer seems to have been on on leave during June, but here are our three top men in earlier races. They hurt, these PB's!
